BBC Doc. 'Guinea Pig Kids'. The House That AIDS Built. In New York's Washington Heights is a 4-story brick building called Incarnation Children's Center (ICC). This former convent houses a revolving stable of children who've been removed from their own homes by the Agency for Child Services. These children were poor. Many of their mothers had a history of drug abuse and have died. Once taken into ICC, the children become subjects of drug trials sponsored by NIAID (National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, a division of the NIH), NICHD (the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) in conjunction with some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies - GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Genentech, Chiron/Biocine, others. The drugs given to the children were toxic - known to cause genetic mutation, organ failure, bone marrow death, bodily deformations, brain damage and fatal skin disorders. If the children refused the drugs, they were held down and force fed drugs. If the children continued to resist, they were taken to Columbia Presbyterian hospital where a surgeon put a plastic tube through their abdominal wall into their stomachs. The drugs were injected directly into their intestines.This piece was investigated and written through winter of 2003 + published in January 2004. The story broke wide in early 2004 w coverage in the New York Post + the New York Press. It served as the basis of investigation for the BBC film "Guinea Pig Kids" and prompted further investigation by the Associated Press.

Guinea Pig Kids, Jamie Doran, BBC Reporter/producer, 2004. HIV positive children and their loved ones have few rights if they choose to battle with social work authorities in New York City.When I first heard the story of the "guinea pig kids", I instinctively refused to believe that it could be happening in any civilised country, particularly the United States, where the propensity for legal action normally ensures a high level of protection. But that, as I was to discover, was central to the choice of location and subjects, because to be free in New York City, you need money.Over 23,000 of the city's children are either in foster care or independent homes run mostly by religious organisations on behalf of the local authorities.Some of these kids were infected with the HIV virus. For over a decade, this became the target group for experimentation involving cocktails of toxic drugs.Central to this story is the city's child welfare department, the Administration for Children's Services (ACS).The ACS, as it is known, was granted far-reaching powers in the 1990s by then-Republican Mayor Rudi Giuliani, after a particularly horrific child killing.Within the shortest of periods, literally thousands of children were being rounded up and placed in foster care."They're essentially out of control," said family lawyer David Lansner. "I've had many ACS case workers tell me: 'We're ACS, we can do whatever we want' and they usually get away with it."Having taken children into care, the ACS was now, effectively, their parent and could do just about anything it wished with them.We asked Dr David Rasnick, visiting scholar at the University of Berkeley, internationally renowned for his work on numerous diseases, including cancer, for his opinion on some of the experiments. He said: "We're talking about serious, serious side-effects. These children are going to be absolutely miserable. They're going to have cramps, diarrhoea and their joints are going to swell up. They're going to roll around the ground and you can't touch them."He went on to describe some of the drugs - supplied by major drug manufacturers including Glaxo SmithKline - as "lethal".The BBC film "Guinea Pig Kids" follows Jacklyn's story and that of other parents or guardians who fear for the lives of their loved ones, talks to a child who spent years on drugs programmes which made them and their friends ill, and discovers that Incarnation is not an isolated case. The experiments continue to be carried out on the poor children of New York City.Guinea Pig Kids was broadcast on Tuesday, 30 November 2004 at 1930 GMT on BBC Two (UK). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes...

Vatican crimes. 23,000 children in New York endure human experimentations at the hands of priests and nuns. This case largely resembles the innocent children in Ireland and Canada submitted into catholic-run institutions where they endured human experimentations at the hands of priests and nuns. http://www.vaticancrimes.us/2010/10/i...
